Maria DePietro· 4 months agoThis is a beautiful, spacious park and I truly enjoy coming here. However, I would love to see better enforcement of the posted dog rules. Unfortunately, some owners allow their dogs off leash despite clear regulations, which can make walks stressful for those of us who are following the rules and keeping our dogs leashed. Additionally, not cleaning up after pets continues to be an issue. It impacts the overall experience and cleanliness of the park for everyone. I hope management considers increased oversight or clearer enforcement so all visitors can enjoy the park safely and responsibly.
Ashley Johnson· 10 months agoGreat community pool and splash pad! We are in PSL but it is worth the drive. The pool is zero entry like a beach and perfect for swimmers of all ages. The deep end is not very deep at all. There is also a splash pad. Plenty of seating! Reasonable entry prices and clean bathrooms. The staff are very friendly as well. Very nice and we enjoyed our time here! We will be back for sure!
Ryan Ramratan· a year agoLove this park!!! It’s very clean and relaxing for a family picnic. It even has a pool for the family. If you’re into soccer and tennis, it has designated areas for games. I would definitely recommend this spot for quite relaxing family time.
Nicholas Pense· a year agoThis is a great local park. LPRP has a playground, pool and splash pad, ball fields, hiking trails, and a disk golf course by the main entrance. Also on site is a 20-foot-tall art piece pictured below. Pack some bug spray, sunscreen and a drink.
Jacob Mickley· 7 years agoGood size park with baseball and soccer fields, a pool that is hardly utilized, and disc golf course. Aside from 2 or 3 picnic pavilions, the above mentioned sports fields, a lake that you can't fish or swim in, and a couple of small trails, it just feels like it's missing something. It is underutilized and is lacking in things to do and see.
